At present, dentistry is divided into several highly specialized areas, one of which is periodontology, whose goal is to identify and treat diseases of the gums and oral cavity.
This is an extremely important part of dentistry. The term "periodontal" means the following elements: the gum, bone tissue, periodontium, that is, the tissue that surrounds the tooth in the oral cavity.
Three sores - three main reasons to turn to the periodontist
Static data of known dental portals indicate that in Russia, more than 80% of the adult population and 50% of children have any pathology associated with periodontitis. To widespread diseases include gingivitis, periodontitis, periodontitis.
This trio of diseases is quite dangerous and unpredictable:
- Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums. Catarrhal gingivitis is characterized by the presence of an odor in the oral cavity, increased sensitivity of the gums, and bleeding at the slightest mechanical effect. The mucosa of
is inflamed, swelling and redness can be observed, which the doctor will be able to determine if the periodontist is visually examined. In the hypertrophic form of the disease, the main symptom is the increase in gums in size. In particularly severe cases, gums can cover 60% - 80% of the surface of the bone tissue of the tooth. Severe form of this disease - ulcerative gingivitis, in which there is a presence of multiple purulent formations.
- Periodontitis .The disease has three degrees of severity. The first, mild degree is accompanied by itching in the gums, an unpleasant odor in the oral cavity may appear. At this stage between the tooth and gum begin to form small gaps, which are called dentogingival pockets. In the second stage, these spaces increase in size, which leads to severe pain when eating, bleeding and a strong, unpleasant odor in the mouth. The general condition of the patient worsens. Third, the most severe stage is characterized by loosening of the teeth due to the formation of fairly large gaps, which can lead to complete loss of teeth.
- Periodontal disease is a disease in which all periodontal tissues are affected. Symptoms of periodontal disease include exposure of the roots of the tooth, high sensitivity of the gums.
Periodontics is an important segment of dentistry, as it deals with the study and treatment of serious oral diseases, which can lead to serious consequences and health problems.
Features of the specialist
Periodontist is a highly specialized doctor who deals with the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal diseases. The level of training of each of these specialists affects the effectiveness of the treatment.
So, if you do not detect and start treating such a disease as periodontitis at the time, it can lead to purulent deposits, which if inflicted in the blood will cause serious damage to the entire body.
The specialist also treats diseases such as stomatitis, periodontitis, gingivitis and other inflammatory and infectious processes in the oral cavity.
In the presence of the following symptoms, it is necessary to contact the dentist-parodontologist:
- gum bleeding at any mechanical effect, with the use of products of high( or low) temperature, and also during chewing food;
- formation of abscesses in the gum area;
- the appearance of painful sensations with mechanical action on the gums;

All these symptoms indicate a problem that only a narrow profile professional can determine the nature of and prescribe effective treatment.
